Notes

Pawel Hawrylak is a Polish-Canadian physicist who works in theoretical condensed matter physics, with research interests including low-dimensional and nanostructured materials and light–matter interaction at the nanoscale.[5]

Education

Hawrylak received an MSc in physics from Wroclaw University of Science and Technology (1979) and a PhD in condensed matter theory with Kumbke Subbaswamy from the University of Kentucky in 1984 with thesis on intercalated graphite.[5]

Career

After postdoctoral work with J.J. Quinn at Brown University, Hawrylak joined the National Research Council of Canada in Ottawa in 1987, later becoming a principal research officer and leader of a quantum theory group.[6] In 2014, he joined the University of Ottawa as a professor of physics and held a university research chair in quantum theory of materials, nano-structures and devices (2014–2024).[7][8]

Hawrylak has served as an executive editor of Solid State Communications.[9]

Research

Hawrylak's research includes theoretical and computational studies of low-dimensional and nanostructured materials, including light–matter interaction at the nanoscale (nanophotonics) and spin-related effects in semiconductor and graphene nanostructures (spintronics).[5][10] His work on quantum dots included theoretical studies of excitonic effects and "artificial atom" models for self-assembled quantum dots.[11][12] Related work includes studies of addition spectra and spin blockade in lateral quantum dots.[13] He has also worked on graphene-based nanostructures, including graphene quantum dots.[5][14]

Awards and honours

In 2006, Hawrylak was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) (1996), and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.[1][2] He received an Humboldt Research Award in 1999 and again in 2023, and the Canadian Association of Physicists Brockhouse Medal in 2002.[3][4] In 2012, Hawrylak was awarded a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal and, in 2014, an honorary doctorate from the University of Crete.[15][16]
